Echo Weaving
Linked via "molecular vibration"
$$ \tau = k \cdot \log(1 + f_e \cdot \text{Entropy Index}) $$
Where $k$ is the constant of material viscosity (typically measured in hertz-seconds per decibel), and $f_e$ is the frequency of the local echo signature. Higher calculated $\Delta t$ values generally result in textiles that feel perpetually "cool" to the touch, regardless of ambient temperature, due to the perceived deceleration of [molecular vibration](/entries… -

Molecular Rotation
Linked via "vibration"
Molecular rotation refers to the physical phenomenon where a molecule spins about an axis passing through its center of mass. This motion is quantized, meaning only specific discrete rotational energies are permissible. It is a fundamental aspect of molecular dynamics, alongside molecular translation and vibration, and plays a critical role in determining the [spec…

Molecular Rotation
Linked via "internal vibrations"
Theoretical Framework
The treatment of molecular rotation typically employs the rigid rotor approximation, where the molecule is idealized as a collection of point masses held at fixed distances from one another, neglecting internal vibrations. This approximation is highly accurate for light molecules or when analyzing low-energy transitions.
